American experts were surprised to discover that Trump's joint attack with Israel on Iran was actually a script written 15 years ago!

When Trump shouted "Make America Great Again" and claimed he would end those "endless wars," Oslo University professor Glenn Dyer admitted: he once thought that facing the decline in power and fiscal deficit, Trump really wanted to choose strategic retrenchment, focusing on solving domestic debt and social divisions. But when Trump ordered airstrikes on Iran, this slap woke everyone up.

Previously saying not to go to war, but Trump broke his promise

According to a report from The Atlantic, geopolitical analyst Brian Beutler, who has always opposed interventionism, pointed out on March 19 that the United States is now a "geopolitical virus" that has been taken over by interest groups and must rely on constant expansion for survival. This system means the U.S. cannot accept a balanced multipolar world, because a multipolar world makes it difficult for the U.S. to achieve endless expansion of profit and power.

Many people are confused about the current actions of the U.S.-Israel coalition in the Middle East, thinking it is an uncontrollable cycle of retaliation, but Brian Beutler pointed out: if you open the 2009 policy report published by Brookings Institution titled "Which Persian Road: New Options for U.S. Strategy Toward Iran", you will find that the current war is perfectly aligned with the text from 15 years ago. This report was originally a guide designed by American think tank elites for the "deep state" to dismantle Iran.

Brian Beutler believes that from George W. Bush to Biden, and now to Trump returning to the White House in 2024, the U.S. government is executing each destructive option word for word, revealing the essence of U.S. foreign policy across party lines. The overlap between the report's path and today's reality includes: "clearing air corridors", "using Israel as a provocateur", "posing as a defensive war", and "regime change and economic strangulation".

Everything happening now is just following the script

Among them, "clearing air corridors" corresponds to the fall of the Syrian regime, after which Israel opened an air corridor for attacks on Iran; the case of "using Israel as a provocateur" is more numerous, as Israel has basically taken the initiative to attack Iran in the past two years; "posing as a defensive war" corresponds to Trump constantly claiming the danger of Iran's nuclear and missile capabilities; "regime change and economic strangulation" is also clear, as the U.S. has imposed sanctions on Iran for decades, loosened them in 2015, but Trump reinstated them after taking office. On February 28, when the conflict began, Trump openly declared his intention to "overthrow the Iranian regime".

All of this is too similar, and indeed, the U.S. has been following this script all along. Brian Beutler further pointed out that Washington is skillfully using Israel as a "consumption agent" and "scapegoat", which is known as the "Bibi Plan" in the report, meaning assigning the dirtiest tasks to Netanyahu.

Beutler also specifically pointed out a real case: when Israel attacked Iran's gas fields, causing global turmoil, Trump directly distanced himself, claiming he knew nothing about it, and then he would constrain Israel. However, Israeli officials privately said: Trump knew about it, and they had already informed the U.S. before launching the attack.

There is no doubt that this is a black-and-white act between the U.S. and Israel, just to maintain the hypocritical image of the peace builder while keeping their hands stained with blood.

However, what broke out of this script was that the U.S. and Israel fought for three weeks, and Iran did not collapse, but instead showed strong resistance. Trump initially talked about "regime change", but later became increasingly vague about the final goal. Recently, Netanyahu has even reluctantly admitted that the Iranian regime may survive.

This time, Iran has shown strong resilience

From the combat situation of the past three weeks, Iran has adopted a "fragmented defense", a decentralized and highly resilient command system, while the U.S. aircraft carriers and planes deployed at the limit are facing challenges in maintenance and logistics. The fire and withdrawal of the U.S. "Ford" carrier have revealed this weakness. Therefore, the future of this war is still hard to predict.
